A new study published by Dan Johnson ofWashington and Lee University shows experimentally that reading fictionincreases empathy (共情).
The participants were asked to read a shortstory and report their mood. Then, in a staged accident, the experimenterknocked over several pens and recorded whether the participants helped pickthem up. They found that the more people were transported into the story, themore likely they were to help pick up the dropped pens. Those who engaged moredeeply with the fictional characters also showed more empathy for the real-lifeperson.
Empathy, like patience appears to be a characterthat can be improved with practice. Study has shown the more students readbooks, especially storybooks, the better they are at understanding the emotionsof others. However, researchers at the University of Michigan reported lastyear that empathy among college students had declined during the past 30 years,with an especially steep drop in the last decade. The reason is plain to see.
It's important to understand where empathy comesfrom in the first place. Looking at the evolution of the human mind, it hasbeen suggested that the ability to process hypothetical scenarios (假设情景) of what another person might be thinking provided an advantageto our early ancestors. Empathy may have arisen from one of the mostfundamental human characteristics—the ability to cheat.
Storytelling is essentially just a kind of art. IsHarry Potter real No, but by projecting ourselves into his story, we'reengaging a very real part of our brain. That sense of escape or socialparticipation often is what makes books so enjoyable. Unfortunately, books arefalling out of style. The cause of this is partially due to e book sales, whichhave arisen greatly over the past few years and taken a share out of thephysical book market without necessarily indicating a decline in reading.
Even though some of us would like to, we can'tblame the digital retailers for our decreased empathy. In fact, some peopleprobably read more with their more convenient e-readers than ever before withhard copies. It's the culture of reading in general that needs to change.
8.What did the experiment show
A.The participants stressed teamwork.
B.The participants were forced to pick up pens.
C.A story might have an instructive effect.
D.A person lost in a story paid less attention to real life
9.What probably causes the decline of college students' empathy
A.Limited patience B.The lack of reading
C.Diverse emotions. D.The social practice
10.What does empathy essentially result from according to the text
A.The art of lying.
B.The culture of reading
C.The escape from the society.
D.The ability to process real information
11.What is the main idea of the text
A.Reading stories can increase empathy
B.Paper books have edges over digital ones
C.Writers play a trick on readers by cheating
D.College students tend to lack understanding.

Industry must speed upinvestment in new technologies that allow manufacture (大量制造) of materials using renewable electricity if net zero emission (排放) targets are to be met, research led by the University of Leedswarns.
Ensuring that noelectricity is produced from fossil fuels by 2050 is vital for achieving netzero. However, its effect will be limited if industry cannot use this electricity.Steel manufacturing alone accounts for a tenth of all carbon dioxide (CO2)emission in industrialised countries but latest estimates suggest newtechnologies to manufacture steel using electricity will not become fullyoperational until at least 2040.
The lead author of thestudy, Dr Alan Grainger, from the University of Leeds School of Geography, said," Delays in replacing existing steel manufacturing capacity represent acrucial ‘lock in' constraint (约束) on achieving net zero." Humanity's great dependence on steel, which accounts for 94% of allmetal production, is a huge blockage that cannot be ignored, The UK Net Zero Strategy, published lastweek, recognizes this problem, but lacks detail on how to deal with it.
Governments shouldstrengthen international carbon reporting standards for energy-intensiveindustries, the paper says, so that total levels of CO2 productionduring the manufacture and lifetime of materials can be measured more obviouslyin assessing progress towards national net zero targets. The carbon price alsoneeds to rise to make it economically viable (可行的) to introduce newmanufacturing technologies with low CO2 emission.
12.What is the author's purpose of writing paragraph 1
A.To warn industry not to use electricity.
B.To show the amount of CO2 emission.
C.To attract investment for the research.
D.To give a warning to industry.
13.What is the key to achieving net zero
A.Using wood instead of steel.
B.Using less electricity from fossil fuels.
C.Using technical instruments.
D.Using electricity from green energy.
14.What does the underlined word " blockage " in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Policy. B.Influence. C.Barrier. D.Advantage.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Industry must prepare for green electricity
B.Industry must achieve net zero emission target
C.Industry must speed up investment in electricity
D.Governments should strengthen carbon standards
【答案】12.D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,要确保到2050年实现碳的净零排放,必须加大工业在实现可再生电力方面的投资,做好使用绿色电力的准备。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断,词义猜测和主旨大意四个题型的考查,是一篇环保类阅读,首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握大意,然后结合具体的题目,再读短文,从中找出相关信息,就可以确定正确答案。
12.考查推理判断。根据第一段"Industry must speed up investment in new technologies that allowmanufacture (大量制造) of materials usingrenewable electricity if net zero emission (排放) targets are to be met, researchled by the University of Leeds warns. ”如果净零排放目标要实现。工业必须加快在允许使用可再生电力材料大量制造的新技术方面的投资,如果由利兹大学所做的研究警告道。可知作者写第一段的目的就是要给工业一个警告。故选D。
13.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"Ensuring that no electricity is produced from fossil fuels by 2050is vital for achieving net zero. However, its effect will be limited ifindustry cannot use this electricity.”确保到2050年不再使用化石燃料发电对实现净零排放至关重要. 然而,如果不能使用这些电力,其效果将是有限的。可知实现净零排放的关键是停止使用化石燃料发电,即使用来自于绿色能源的电。故选D。
14.考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的"‘Delays in replacing existing steel manufacturingcapacity represent a crucial ‘lock in' constraint (约束) on achieving net zero.'Humanity's great dependenceon steel, which accounts for 94% of all metal production, is a huge blockagethat cannot be ignored,”取代现有的钢铁生产能力方面的延迟代表了一个至关重要的在实现净零排放方面的锁定约束。人类对于占有金属生产的94%钢铁的巨大依赖是一个不可忽视的巨大障碍。可知净零排放不能尽快实现的原因之一是延迟取代现有的钢铁生产能力,第二个就是人类对于钢的巨大依赖。所以可以推测此处的"blockage"是影响实现净零排放的一个不利因素。故选C。
15.考查主旨大意。根据第一段"Industry must speed up investment in new technologies that allowmanufacture (大量制造) of materials usingrenewable electricity if net zero emission (排放) targets are to be met, researchled by the University of Leeds warns. ” 如果净零排放目标要实现,工业必须加快在允许使用可再生电力材料大量制造的新技术方面的投资,由利兹大学所做的研究警告道;以及全文可知文章的主要内容是要想尽快实现碳的净零排放必须加大工业在使用可再生能源方面的投资,做好使用绿色电力的准备。故选A。

The amount of stuff we own these days is shocking. Reports indicate we consume twice as many material goods today as we did 50 years ago. The number should cause us to start asking some difficult questions of ourselves. For example, why do we buy more stuff than we need 16.
We think it will make ushappy. 17. But in reality, we buy bigger houses, faster cars, cooler technology and fashionable clothes, hoping that we will become happier. Unfortunately, the actual happiness from excessive physical possessions is brief at best.
We are more susceptible to advertising than we believe. 18. Every advertisement carries the same message — your life will be better if you buy what we are selling. We begin to hear this message so many times and from so many angles and begin to believe it. This is not a complete condemnation of the marketing industry.

19. Comparison seems to be a natural state of our humanity. We notice what other people are buying, wearing, and driving. We admire them. And all too often, we buy stuff we don't need just because people in our friendship circles have done the same. A culture focused on praising excess will always misdefinetrue success.
Extra material possessions do not enrich our lives. 20. We would be wise to realize the cause and overcome it.

"Is the car seriouslydamaged " James couldn't wait to continue asking.
"The ball hit the carback and the tail light got broken" Adam said in a low voice.
"It's truly your fault.It's really dangerous to play football on the road. What's worse you shouldn'thave come back without telling Mr. Black about it. You are such a naughty boy," James raised his voice. Hearing this, Adam lowered his head and bit hislips hard. James added, "Anyway, it's never too late to mend. I'11 takeyou to his house tomorrow to apologize. Now it's time to sleep. "
When Adam went bed, Jamescouldn't go to sleep himself. Father always told him to be honest, to be a boyadmired by the people and to be an example of his brother. He was sorry for hisbrother's behavior. He shouldn't have blamed his brother after he did somethingwrong. But he could understand him. Anyway, Adam was only a boy of seven andwhat had happened really scared him. But as his elder brother, he should payfor it though this might delay his plan of having the bike. "Nothingserious.

Mr. Black was a littlesurprised to see the brothers. "Mr. Black, I'm here to make an apology," said James. Then he told Mr. Black what had happened and drew out themoney from his pocket. "This is all the money I have. I wonder if it canpay for your loss, " he said sincerely. "Good boys, I trulyappreciate your honesty. Just forget my car. " Mr. Black declined to getthe money but accepted the brothers' suggestions of doing some work in hisgarden. What a good result! Adam regained his honesty and James could stillhave his dream bike.

A new study published by Dan Johnson ofWashington and Lee University shows experimentally that reading fictionincreases empathy (共情).
The participants were asked to read a shortstory and report their mood. Then, in a staged accident, the experimenterknocked over several pens and recorded whether the participants helped pickthem up. They found that the more people were transported into the story, themore likely they were to help pick up the dropped pens. Those who engaged moredeeply with the fictional characters also showed more empathy for the real-lifeperson.
Empathy, like patience appears to be a characterthat can be improved with practice. Study has shown the more students readbooks, especially storybooks, the better they are at understanding the emotionsof others. However, researchers at the University of Michigan reported lastyear that empathy among college students had declined during the past 30 years,with an especially steep drop in the last decade. The reason is plain to see.
It's important to understand where empathy comesfrom in the first place. Looking at the evolution of the human mind, it hasbeen suggested that the ability to process hypothetical scenarios (假设情景) of what another person might be thinking provided an advantageto our early ancestors. Empathy may have arisen from one of the mostfundamental human characteristics—the ability to cheat.
Storytelling is essentially just a kind of art. IsHarry Potter real No, but by projecting ourselves into his story, we'reengaging a very real part of our brain. That sense of escape or socialparticipation often is what makes books so enjoyable. Unfortunately, books arefalling out of style. The cause of this is partially due to e book sales, whichhave arisen greatly over the past few years and taken a share out of thephysical book market without necessarily indicating a decline in reading.
Even though some of us would like to, we can'tblame the digital retailers for our decreased empathy. In fact, some peopleprobably read more with their more convenient e-readers than ever before withhard copies. It's the culture of reading in general that needs to change.
8.What did the experiment show
A.The participants stressed teamwork.
B.The participants were forced to pick up pens.
C.A story might have an instructive effect.
D.A person lost in a story paid less attention to real life
9.What probably causes the decline of college students' empathy
A.Limited patience B.The lack of reading
C.Diverse emotions. D.The social practice
10.What does empathy essentially result from according to the text
A.The art of lying.
B.The culture of reading
C.The escape from the society.
D.The ability to process real information
11.What is the main idea of the text
A.Reading stories can increase empathy
B.Paper books have edges over digital ones
C.Writers play a trick on readers by cheating
D.College students tend to lack understanding.

Industry must speed upinvestment in new technologies that allow manufacture (大量制造) of materials using renewable electricity if net zero emission (排放) targets are to be met, research led by the University of Leedswarns.
Ensuring that noelectricity is produced from fossil fuels by 2050 is vital for achieving netzero. However, its effect will be limited if industry cannot use this electricity.Steel manufacturing alone accounts for a tenth of all carbon dioxide (CO2)emission in industrialised countries but latest estimates suggest newtechnologies to manufacture steel using electricity will not become fullyoperational until at least 2040.
The lead author of thestudy, Dr Alan Grainger, from the University of Leeds School of Geography, said," Delays in replacing existing steel manufacturing capacity represent acrucial ‘lock in' constraint (约束) on achieving net zero." Humanity's great dependence on steel, which accounts for 94% of allmetal production, is a huge blockage that cannot be ignored, The UK Net Zero Strategy, published lastweek, recognizes this problem, but lacks detail on how to deal with it.
Governments shouldstrengthen international carbon reporting standards for energy-intensiveindustries, the paper says, so that total levels of CO2 productionduring the manufacture and lifetime of materials can be measured more obviouslyin assessing progress towards national net zero targets. The carbon price alsoneeds to rise to make it economically viable (可行的) to introduce newmanufacturing technologies with low CO2 emission.
12.What is the author's purpose of writing paragraph 1
A.To warn industry not to use electricity.
B.To show the amount of CO2 emission.
C.To attract investment for the research.
D.To give a warning to industry.
13.What is the key to achieving net zero
A.Using wood instead of steel.
B.Using less electricity from fossil fuels.
C.Using technical instruments.
D.Using electricity from green energy.
14.What does the underlined word " blockage " in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Policy. B.Influence. C.Barrier. D.Advantage.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Industry must prepare for green electricity
B.Industry must achieve net zero emission target
C.Industry must speed up investment in electricity
D.Governments should strengthen carbon standards

The amount of stuff we own these days is shocking. Reports indicate we consume twice as many material goods today as we did 50 years ago. The number should cause us to start asking some difficult questions of ourselves. For example, why do we buy more stuff than we need 16.
We think it will make ushappy. 17. But in reality, we buy bigger houses, faster cars, cooler technology and fashionable clothes, hoping that we will become happier. Unfortunately, the actual happiness from excessive physical possessions is brief at best.
We are more susceptible to advertising than we believe. 18. Every advertisement carries the same message — your life will be better if you buy what we are selling. We begin to hear this message so many times and from so many angles and begin to believe it. This is not a complete condemnation of the marketing industry. This is simply a call to realize their message affects us more than we realize.
19. Comparison seems to be a natural state of our humanity. We notice what other people are buying, wearing, and driving. We admire them. And all too often, we buy stuff we don't need just because people in our friendship circles have done the same. A culture focused on praising excess will always misdefinetrue success.
Extra material possessions do not enrich our lives. 20. We would be wise to realize the cause and overcome it.
A. We are hoping to impress other people.
B. We envy people who own more stuff.
C. On average, we see 5, 000 advertisements every day.
D. Here are several reasons why we buy more stuff than we need.
E. Nobody would admit they search for happiness in material possessions.
F. We seek to recover from loss and loneliness by purchasing unnecessary items.

42.句意:20世纪40年代末,45转每分钟的唱片诞生了:一种更小、更便宜的光盘,每面只能播放3分钟以上的音乐。描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时。故填saw。
43.句意:20世纪40年代末,45转每分钟的唱片诞生了:一种更小、更便宜的光盘,每面只能播放3分钟以上的音乐。more than固定短语,"超过",故填than。
44.句意:长时间播放的唱片(LPs)大约在同一时期被引入,但广播电台播放每分钟45转的单曲要容易得多——听众成群地出去购买。主语Long-playing records与谓语introduce构成被动关系,结合后文but it was可知为一般过去时的被动语态,谓语用复数。故填were introduced。
45.句意:虽然10英寸78转唱片是3分钟趋势的发端,但45转唱片确实使之成为整个20世纪中期电台单曲的必需品。此处为make it a necessity for表示"使之成为必需品"。故填it。
